After attempting to update my React Native app's dependencies using npm update, chaos ensued. To rectify the situation, I reverted back to the previous package-lock.json, deleted the node_modules folder, and re-ran npm i.
Surprisingly, instead of restoring things to normal, a new error appeared on the scene, accompanied by various others:
ERROR Invariant Violation: View config getter callback for component `RNCSafeAreaProvider` must be a function (received `undefined`).
This error is located at:
in RNCSafeAreaProvider (at SafeAreaContext.tsx:74)
in SafeAreaProvider <- Imported from 'react-native-safe-area-context'
in MyApp <- My code
Typically, this type of error occurs when trying to render an invalid component due to incorrect importing of components.
However, what sets my query apart from others facing similar issues is that this error does not originate from my code. The call stack clearly shows successful resolution and rendering of SafeAreaProvider, a component directly sourced from
react-native-safe-area-context</code. The problem arises when it attempts to render an internal component of that package, <code>RNCSafeAreaProviderI can attest that the code for this view was functioning correctly prior to my tinkering with npm. Furthermore, this issue persists across both iOS and Android platforms.
Has anyone encountered a similar predicament?
